Dumbass question time--
Does the tip on the engraver rotate freely? That is, when the motor of the engraver spins, does the tip also have to spin, or can it stay stationary? I can't figure out how else you could avoid melting a hole in the plastic... --DD |

Has anyone figured out the best fluid to put in these types of ultrasonic cleaners for parts cleaning?
I have an old ultrasonic cleaner but I never know what to put it in. I've tried several different things and they never work as well as I hope... I know you can buy solution too, but there must be a homebrew recipe... I think the commercial fluids try to lower the surface tension (like acetone or alcohol) because that's what works best for the microscopic bubbles in the cleaner. Degreasers like simple green etc. are not supposed to work well because they do the opposite to help pick up the dirt. |

I’m just using fuel injector cleaner so far, it won’t take off grease (etc.) so I pre clean the body first. I only put in enough cleaner to cover the injector, I found out right away that if I overfill the container or try to clean 2 injectors at once that it dampens the vibration effect.
My engraver is a Craftsman (Sears) the tip does not turn much and you must be careful with it. I have at least 24hrs running time on mine, no problems so far. Try to get a container with a good lid as it spits all over the place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

OK, my set-up didn't seem to be working very good anymore, I thought my engraver was wearing out. I then found out if I pressed the tip in it worked better.
Doh! When you engrave something your always pressing on the tip! So I've put a spring on the engraver body to the tip clamp, to pull in on the tip and it now works better then ever! Hey I did say TIP clamp!!! |
